Installing Batteries
1. Open the battery compartment cap by turning it counter-clockwise.
2. Install two, fresh, brand name, AA alkaline batteries (not included) and note
the proper direction of the positive and negative orientation on the underside of
the timer.
3. Insert and screw the battery cap clockwise. Make sure to securely tighten the
cover firmly by hand only. The timer will now appear on the smartphone app and
is ready to be connected to and programmed.
Valve Adapter Installation
The 410BT series controller includes 3 adapters to retrofit Rainbird, Hunter and Toro
valves. Follow the instructions below to install.
1. Shut off the main water supply
2. Remove the existing solenoid if applicable.
Note: If adapting to an IRRITROL valve, remove the solenoid but leave the existing solenoid
adapter installed.
3. Select the appropriate solenoid adapter associated with the valve. (see chart A)
4. Screw the solenoid adapter into the valve bonnet by hand, tighten with pliers if
necessary – but do not over tighten.
5. Thread the 410BT series solenoid into the valve adapter. Hand tighten only.
6. Turn the main water supply on and pressurize the valve; the valve may discharge
water momentarily but should then shut off.
7. Test the controller and the installation by pressing the button on the controller
or see section 6 on how to perform a manual run through the app. To turn the
valve on via the solenoid, lift the 410BT series controller from the solenoid and
turn the solenoid counter clockwise 1/2" to 3/4" of a turn, or until you hear or see
water flowing through the valve. To turn the water off, turn the solenoid clockwise
1/2" to 3/4" of a turn and wait for the a few seconds for the valve to close.
8. Program the 410BT series controller (see section 7).
In-line valve Installation
Rated operating pressure: 10-125 PSI
Recommended Operating Pressure: 10-80 PSI
Warning: Wrap all fittings with Teflon tape! Do not use pipe cement on valve as this
will damage the valve and void the warranty!
1. Shut off main water supply.
2. Install a 3/4 in. ball or gate valve onto the PVC pipe or to the valve manifold be-
fore installing the controller (Figure 1a and 1b).
3. Turn water supply on to flush the line and then shut the water off using the ball or
gate valve.
4. Wrap the male threads of the PVC adapters with 4-6 layers of Teflon tape, then
tighten into the valve with a wrench.
5. Glue fittings to PVC main line and allow to dry.
6. Turn water supply on to pressurize the system. The controller will open momen-
tarily and then will shut off.
7. The unit is now ready to be programmed.
